“…Adverse prognostic indicators that have been postulated include poor differentiation, infiltrative growth pattern, multicentric origin of the tumor, delay in diagnosis of over 6 months, and size of the tumor more than 10 mm. Samarasinghe et al [5] reported a case of sebaceous carcinoma of scalp with nodal metastasis at presentation.…”

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the skin appendages. It tends to occur in elderly patients. Orbital region is the most commonly involved site seen in 75% of cases. The involvement of extra-orbital sites is infrequent. Herein, a case of extra-ocular sebaceous carcinoma arising in the scalp of a 20-year-old man is described.The patient developed tumor relapse after excision biopsy. He was treated with wide local excision of the tumor. However, the patient developed local recurrence after an interval of four months for which he again underwent wide local excision. He did not manifest any regional or distant metastases. In view of the locally aggressive tumor, he received adjuvant radiation therapy. The patient was successfully treated with no evidence of any local recurrence seen after a follow-up period of one year. The timely recognition of sebaceous carcinoma is imperative so as to execute the primary treatment i.e., wide local excision. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be considered to improve the clinical outcome for recurrent tumors.

“…Sebaceous carcinoma presents as a solitary, erythematous or pale yellow-colored, firm to hard, slowly growing nodule, with ulceration. It is seen with an increased frequency in the Asian population [2]. The gender predisposition of extraocular sebaceous carcinoma is equal in males and females, with mean occurrence age of 63 years [3].…”

“…11,12,35 Recent epidemiologic data showing that extraorbital sebaceous carcinoma has a reduced tendency for regional metastasis (1.4% for extraorbital vs 4.4% for periorbital) supports this theory. 69 Highly aggressive extraorbital sebaceous carcinoma has been reported in the literature, 40,82,116,[139][140][141][142] and regular follow-up after complete excision is still required to monitor for regional or distant metastasis. 69 Highly aggressive extraorbital sebaceous carcinoma has been reported in the literature, 40,82,116,[139][140][141][142] and regular follow-up after complete excision is still required to monitor for regional or distant metastasis.…”
